The ATP Made During Glycolysis is Generated By

Question

The ATP made during glycolysis is generated by
A)substrate-level phosphorylation.
B)electron transport.
C)photophosphorylation.
D)chemiosmosis.
E)oxidation of NADH to NAD⁺.

Accepted Answer

During glycolysis, ATP is generated by substrate-level phosphorylation, in which a phosphate group is transferred from a high-energy molecule (such as 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate or phosphoenolpyruvate) to ADP to form ATP. Electron transport, photophosphorylation, chemiosmosis, and oxidation of NADH to NAD⁺ are not involved in glycolysis.
